ERA®
Before the ERA ® concept was developed, dental professionals and their patients were experiencing problems with a few resilient attachments. They were too expensive, complicated to fabricate, and too fragile or unreliable for long term patient service. The ERA ® System alleviates these problems by using new materials and patented designs. ERA ® Attachments consist of a metal female component, which is intraorally fixed; and a replaceable, high density nylon male anchored in the denture base. Features: • Low in cost. By eliminating the machining of expensive gold alloy components, ERA ® Attachments are affordable to many more patients. • Easy to use. Fabrication and maintenance procedures have been simplified. • Tough and reliable. In vitro studies* and clinical experience show ERA ® Attachments to be long lasting and patients find them comfortable and easy to live with. Worldwide…dentists prescribe, and technicians fabricate, thousands of ERA ® retained restorations every month while patients put them to hard daily use. You can join themwith confidence.
